Standalone Printing

You can use the control panel on the printer to see current
status of the printer on the built in display, control printing
parameters and printer settings, and print in standalone
mode – without connecting computer.
Standalone use
The printer can be used in computer mode or standalone
mode. When using the printer standalone, it is controlled by the
navigation button, LCD screen and pause button on the printer.
SD card
To print using standalone mode, you need to have the G-codes
prepared for printing and stored on the supplied or your own
SD-card. The SD card must be "mounted" after inserting,
and "unmounted" before taking it out of the printer. All the
temperature and setting options work also when SD card is not
present.
When to print in standalone mode
- When printing takes a long time for larger objects, independent
of computer
- When printing repeat objects, when you know that all the
settings in your G-code are just fine
- To save electricity by not having the computer turned on
- When taking the printer to other places like shows or meetings
Power management
The printer will cool down printhead and heated bed when print
is finished (depending on settings in g-code file or after an hour
of inactivity), but it will not turn itself off.
